“The Perils of Sergius”

With Batman lunging forward in dynamic mid-action, Robin swinging in behind him, and Batgirl leaping alongside at his feet, José Luis García-López's cover for this January 1979 issue captures the full Batman Family in kinetic rooftop pursuit. The banner promises five all-new thrillers, including Batman's clash with the League of Assassins, dedicated features for Batgirl and Robin, and bonus stories spotlighting Roy Raymond TV Detective and the Odd Man — genuinely strong value for a single issue. At a dollar cover price, Detective Comics #487 makes good on its "best buy in comics" boast with an ambitious lineup and one of García-López's most energetic ensemble covers of the era.
